I am actually kinda of sad this class is at an end - so instead of looking at as an end I am creating my own Thing list to work on over the next months as I try to incorporate more technology seamlessly into my classroom and life.
Thing #1 - Work on my school web page (look for tutorials offered by web pages or LPS)
Thing #2 - Create Wiki for Principles of Chemistry Classroom
Thing #3 - Continue to work on Wiki for AP Chemistry classroom
Thing #4 - Download and learn how to use Photostory
Thing #5 - Create a photostory for open house
Thing #6 - Learn how to use an ebeam
Thing #7 - Come up with ideas for effective blog use in the classroom
Thing #8 - Revisit FLICKR for good review games (need to take lots of photos)
Thing #9 - Revisit Knowtes to create good activity for students
Thing #10 - Incorporate Delicious bookmarking into the wiki
Thing #11 - Find some good podcasting resources for students
Thing #12 - HAVE FUN! PLAY WITH MY KIDS! ENJOY HAVING MY HUSBAND HOME FOR THE SUMMER!
It has been a long time since I have done a class for the pure joy of learning - instead of just trying to rush through to "get it done." I am looking forward to revisiting the 23 Things blog as well as my own blog for new ideas.
I am writing this to remind myself to start small, remember there will be mistakes, I don't have to do it all at once, I have resources, I have friends who will help, ask my students for help, keep learning!
Thank you for an enjoyable and beneficial class. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in incorporating technology into the classroom!
You're very ambitious!! I'm going to copy off of your list as soon as I finish these first 23! Congratulations. I hope your summer is going well. The kids are beautiful. See you all too soon.

You're an inspiration to all of us. We've really enjoyed your perspective from a science point of view. Congratulations on successfully completing 23 Things!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sunni! I am going to copy your list too. Since I'm only at thing 11, I have a ways to go. You are an inspiration though! Can't wait to trade notes with you soon!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. Since Learning is life long and I love lists. I am going to incorporate your idea in my blog. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sunni and Jacki, I am going to take many of your ideas from your list.
